Feb 7 2013: I have not read the book that you stated above, but to answer your question I share a majority of my information with everyone and anyone. I have the mind set that the more people who know about my idea ultimately are giving me free advertising by word of mouth. You never know what networks the individual you are talking with has, and a life changing opportunity could always arise. I think the quote goes "being in the right place at the right time", well sharing your information always gives you that extra opportunity. I think corporations are currently sharing lots of their information because of the economy, and looking to invest and become profitable in nontraditional ways.
